摘要
This paper presents a computer simulation model, PORTSIM, that was developed for the grain terminals of the Port of Thunder Bay. In addition to simulating ship arrival and grain loading characteristics, the model incorporates two distinct features of the port. These features are the movements of ships between berths to load different grades of grain and the impact of the rail-side operation on port performance. Some practical applications of the model and areas of future expansion of its capabilities are discussed.
